If the machine is not used as described in the
manual, injury and/or damage to the Verti-Drain®
may result.

liability whatsoever with regard to damage resulting from such incorrect use; all
resulting risks are the responsibility of the user.
Correct use also includes following the manufacturer’s usage, maintenance and
repair instructions.
Before using the Verti-Drain®, inspect the area to be treated. Remove any loose
obstacles and avoid irregularities.
(2) The Verti-Drain®was constructed according to the latest technological
knowledge and is safe to use.
Improper use, maintenance or repair of the machine may result in injury to both
the user and others. This should be avoided!
